Hi there, I have been working on Rails applications for sometime and lately trying my hands on beautification of the same. Now the problem that I am facing in here is whatever design or layout I try to apply to a particular application is visible to the rest of the applications also! I mean…I am not able to apply different designs to different applications. If anybody could help. Thankyou. ---

Each of your Rails applications should have its own directory structure, its own public/ directory, and its own public/stylesheets/scaffold.css. There shouldn’t be any way for different applications to share that file. Also, you can change the name of “scaffold.css” and include whichever CSS files you need to in your layout. Jeff C.man ---

It does…every aplpication has its own directory structure, by no way are they following a common structure.

Are you sure you’re talking about different Rails applications? A Rails application always has a standard directory structure, and it always has a public/ directory, and a public/stylesheets directory. One Rails application doesn’t really have the ability to reach out of its own public/ into the public/ directory of another application. And you’re running multiple Rails applications on your home computer? Did you start each application with “ruby script/server”? If you could describe a little more about each application, and how you made it, that might make things clearer. For example, to make a Rails app called “blog”, I’d type “rails blog” and it would create the directory structure for that application. Then I might change directories and type “rails cookbook” to make a cookbook app. To run the blog app I’d go into its root directory (C:\blog\ for example) and type “ruby script/server”. To run the cookbook I’d switch to C:\cookbook\ and type “ruby script/server”, but I wouldn’t be able to run both at the same time without specifying which port for WEBrick to run on, otherwise I’d get an error message. Does this sound like what you’re doing? Jeff C.man ---

Hey Jeff! I fixed it up. Changing names for css helped. Thanks.
